Martin 000-18 1946, Natural

The 1946 Martin 000-18 is a postwar gem known for its clarity, balance, and responsive tone. Featuring a solid spruce top with mahogany back and sides, this 000-sized guitar offers a warm, articulate voice ideal for fingerstyle and light to moderate flatpicking. Transitional features from this era—such as scalloped X-bracing, a tapered headstock, and open-gear tuners—contribute to its lightweight feel and vintage charm. With its 24.9" short scale and comfortable neck profile, the 1946 000-18 remains an ideal choice for players seeking a refined, expressive acoustic with classic Martin character. This example has had a neck reset and a strap pin added at the heel, but otherwise remains in excellent original condition. Includes a non-original hardshell case.
